SINGERS, dancers, magicians, pianists, comedians, actors and gymnasts are urged to try out for the chance to appear on a national talent show this month.

Britain's Got Talent producers are to visit Bournemouth on Saturday, August 12 in a bid to find the area's best performers.

Those who make it through the early audition could make it to judges' auditions in 2018.

The show is open to any performer of any age and with any talent - and series producer Charlie Irwin says "anything goes".

“Britain’s Got Talent 2017 was a fantastic year for talent full of variety - from runner-up Issy Simpson, one of the youngest magicians ever to audition, to the moving and inspiring Missing People Choir, lovable duo The Pensionalities and our incredible winner Tokio Myers," he said.

"Now, we can’t wait to see what talent Bournemouth has to offer for the 2018 series. 
"Anyone can apply - there is no age limit and we are looking for all kinds of talents. 

"So if you feel you have something special to show us, no matter what it is, then make sure you apply, you never know where it might take you.”

Since being crowned the winner of Britain’s Got Talent 2017, Tokio Myers has co-produced the Artists for Grenfell charity single in support of The London Community Foundation.

BGT’s 10th winner, Lance Corporal Richard Jones, was the first magician to ever claim the top prize.

He has since been touring the country on his sold-out UK Tour Power of Imagination, which he will continue later this year. 

Susan Boyle has sold more than 23 million records worldwide, Diversity have sold-out six nationwide tours and just completed their seventh UK tour Genesis, while multi-platinum selling artist Paul Potts has sold six million records worldwide. BGT 2014 winners Collabro have had a No. 1 album and Calum Scott, Simon’s golden buzzer in 2015, was the first ever Britain’s Got Talent contestant to be nominated for a Brit Award for single Dancing On My Own.

Auditions will take place at the Bh2 leisure complex between 3pm and 7pm.
